caplock disappeared

caplock disappeared

[Chuck Hallenbeck]

My latest CVS speakup seems to be missing the caplock function.
Not sure when it disappeared, since I do not use it that often,
but the key does not say anything when pressed and it does not
alter the case of typed letters.

Hi
>From what it looks like here, caps lock is defined as a speakup key.
Try hitting caps+numeric keypad enter and guess what you get... speakup
turns off. I can't seem to find a way to override it since speakup seems to
completely take over the keymap. I've tried defining keycode 58 as Caps_Lock
but apparently speakup is intercepting it before it gets to the normal
keymap level. For now, if you want caps lock functionality, press any
modifier key + caps lock. This apparently lets the caps lock key get
through.

Yes, that does seem to do the trick indeed.  I ran into the same
discoveries yesterday afternoon.  Holding down the caps-lock key
without enhancements seems to do the exact same thing as does the
keypad-insert speakup key.  I think this is to help out laptop users.

Hey while I'm here, I have a question about the new way keymaps are
done now.  Can anyone explain how that process now works?  What I mean
is speakup doesn't come with a key map anymore but I think it is
generated by genkeymap.c or something like that.  I did not find any
program comments to help me out thus my questions here.  If I want to
alter a keymap or whatever, how do I go about doing that now? Does an
actual keymap still exist and I've just missed something or what?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Chuck et al,

	As of Wednesday, May 21/03, david Borowski introduced my laptop keymap into the cvs version of speakup. The only ostensible change is the kidnapping of the Caps_Lock key for speakup use. However by using the capslock key with selected qwerty-keys, you no longer need the numeric-keypad.

	There soon will be a  /proc filesystem method to handle keymaps.

	Meanwhile, (and if you like it, you can continue to use it) the traditional speakup keymap is integrated with my laptop keymap. This integration provides full control of speakup using only the qwerty keys without the numeric keypad. On a 104-key keyboard you have two methods of controlling speakup: qwerty-keys with the Caps_Lock key and the traditional speakup numpad keys.

	To toggle the caps_lock function, hold down the shift key and press the caps_lock key, in that order. There currently is a bug wherein the control and alt keys act the same as the shift key when pressed before pressing the capslock key. However, if you press the capslock key, then the control or alt key and a qwerty-key, you will get the desired speakup functionality as documented.

More details are in the file:

	ftp://ftp.linux-speakup.org/pub/linux/goodies/README-cvs-keymap

which will be updated fre	quently to try to keep abreast of changes in cvs.

HTH,

Terry,
Many thanks for that explanation. I had not given your keymap a
try before, but it seems to be a great addition.
